The tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS.

The wheels are 35th Anniversary GTI (Watkins Glen is the name).

How is the road noise/ride quality with these over stock?

My Sumitomos made the car ride much much rougher which is ok, but the tire noise is nearly unbearable, even after I dynomatted the car.

My original tires were also Continental, but not the DWS model. Compared to stock, I don't hear any real difference in noise. If there is, it's nothing I even noticed. Still listen to the radio at the same volume, still talk on the bluetooth fine, etc.

As for the ride quality, I also changed to an 18" setup at the same time, so not entirely sire how much is size and how much is tire, but they handle really well. I did notice a difference over the 17" setup for sure. I also have DriverGear springs. Between the springs and wheels/tires, I think it rides similar to a GTI, maybe just a little stiffer. Nothing for me to complain about.

Overall, I'm real happy with the setup.:thumbup:

Here is my kart, with its summer shoes on (RPF1s). I eschewed going to 18-inchers, because the roads here that I was afraid of denting a wheel, plus I figured my backside would be thanking me. Even on the OEM all-season tires, the handling is awesome.
